Since this is a post-metal thread, I may as well ask for some post-rock recs. What are some good bands and albums that will own my face? The only experience I have with post-rock, really, is just Agalloch, Explosions In The Sky, and Godspeed! You Black Emperor, and I'll be checking out Sigur Ros shortly. Any help is appreciated.

Very, very good stuff. I wasn't in the best listening mood, but I loved what I heard.

I'll have to listen to more later, to get an even better feel for it.

I haven't heard that album, but Somewhere Along the Highway is absolutely incredible, get it now. Am currently listening to the new album, it's pretty darn good so far, not as much post rock in it though.

Mogwai!
The albums Young Team and Mr Beast are supposed to be their best, I also love Happy Songs for Happy People, as that has more electronic experimentation and the occasional doom metal-ish moment.
